Chef Lesa Sullivan (Lesacooks.Com)

Lesa Sullivan was our very first employee, way back in the dark ages of the Internet. After going off to learn the art and craft of cooking and working as a chef, Lesa is back and badder than ever.

Here are her favorite picks from ChefShop.com. Be sure to check out her blog, The Pink Hobart, where she writes (more radical prose), and if you're looking for a personal chef for a day (or more) in the Northwest, well....
